The "TO-DO" List


The "TO-DO" List

I have a to-do list every day. This ongoing list keeps me focused and helps me remember the things I don't want to forget. The beginning of the year is a cleansing time for my lists. All the things I need to accomplish, packed together and mingled with the things I want to do. Some are very important and necessary. Some are timely issues and some are things that need to be done "just because.'

Why are these lists of things so important to me? Why do I NEED to write them down? Why do I need to see them on paper and talk about them in great detail, planning for them so methodically?

 I need to see them because they are already in my mind and planted in my heart. As I write them down, it magically makes them come ALIVE and they sparkle with hope of accomplishment and new territory to cover on this journey of life. So WRITE little heart, write to your heart's content. As the words in your soul pour through your pen and saturate the blank pages of your book...write!

Reflector When we rise to the occasion as the Spirit of the Almighty God infiltrates our very being, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished through the mighty working of God’s hand. The wind blows and you do not see where it came from, but you see where it is going. The movement, the direction, of the wind can be seen and felt, just like God’s Spirit that rushes over us and fills us to capacity with His love and inspiration. Be reflectors of God’s grace. Be reflectors of His forgiveness and love. Be reflectors of His compassion. Do these things as a reflector back to God from whence it came. Do not shine in your own eyes or else you will be blinded and not able to see the right path. Always reflect back to Him, for it is He that imparts wisdom, it is He that imparts power and unfailing love. To God be the glory! Inspired by God   Written by Rhonda Norris

Run to the basement

Run to the Basement Run to the basement! Anybody raised up in the south understands what “run to the basement” means and you certainly don’t dilly dally around. Honey, you run! As a kid, when the bad storms came, that's where we would go, down to the basement. Whether we were in the house or outside, there was a way to get to the basement. It was the safe place.  As I got older, a funny thing happened. When I would be going through storms in my life, I would have dreams that a tornado was a coming. In my dream, I would be running back to the house to get to the basement, the safe place. Sometimes in my dreams, I would be telling a family member to go to the basement. I would either go to them in person or call them on the phone. I warned them, there’s a tornado coming! Get to the basement! I felt it was my duty to warn everyone. In my dreams I could feel the wind rushing and see the rolling dark clouds. This was usually during a hard time in my life, my own storm...

THE OLD PURSE Some things will motivate you to do something, but some things will make you desperately get up and move into serious action. I couldn’t find my debit card! I searched everywhere I usually would have put it. Frantically, I unloaded the contents of my purse. Honey, I mean every speck was emptied on the table. To my surprise, I also found new secret pockets down in the liner where you really had to dig and hunt. I guess over the past few months or maybe I should say a year, things in my purse got shifted around and trapped. I shook the whole purse, turned it inside out, cleaned it all out, to find forgotten items buried deep inside. I also noticed that over time my purse was getting much heavier. I actually dreaded carrying it. It made my shoulder hurt. I even went to the doctor about my shoulder pain, and you know what he said? "I see your problem. You need to lose weight… in your purse!"  I would have to get a buggy every time I went to the store for m...
